Week 16 Shipped: Scammer Checker (and the Portfolio's First $499 Product)

Week 16's build is live: Scammer Checker. Something feel off? Paste the message, check the link, describe the call, and get the warning signs in plain English with what to do next. Free, no account, and nothing you paste ever leaves your browser.

A trust product, built like one

Two choices define it. It runs entirely browser-local, the house pattern for sensitive tools by now, because the moment you are checking a scam is the moment you least want to hand your messages to a server. And, my favorite part to say out loud from inside an AI-everything portfolio: it is deliberately not AI. Every result comes from a published, sourced set of written rules, the same input always gives the same answer, and when nothing matches, it says "unable to establish trust" rather than "this looks safe," because false comfort is the one thing a safety tool must never sell. It even shipped with the biggest day-one content library of any build: twenty guides, six marked-up pattern explainers, and a dated scam-alerts feed, all aimed at the internet's most evergreen worried question: is this a scam?

The $499 line on the pricing page

The checker is free forever. The money is in printable kits, and the tiers are the experiment: a $19 Family Safety Kit for sitting down with your people, and a $499 Organization Scam Awareness Kit, a ready-to-run workshop program for senior communities and home-care agencies. That second number is the portfolio's first business-priced product, and one sale of it would out-earn the entire project to date. It also points at exactly the audience Medicare Decoder serves, three weeks before enrollment season opens. Two products, one protect-your-parents audience, one seasonal window: that convergence is now the most interesting strategy on the board, and the build page has the full teardown. Fifteen builds live. See you Monday.
